Some pictures from Lasseiz Le Crapheaps

 The dragstrip is unusually beautiful at night.

Riding dirty and hopped up on Four Loko probably

The heart of the beast

 Wait, where's TDC again?

She lives!!

 Luke seems weirdly happy for 36 hours of no sleep

To Tech inspection! 

 John approves of the radiator ventilation system

Judge approved as well

Had to jump start it each time

Waiting patiently to see if it actually finishes a lap

 Success!! A standing ovation!

A happy, tired, dirty, but award winning LeMons team.

An awesome write-up on our epic fail/win

Thought I'd post THIS, an exclusive look at our Most Heroic Fix win at Lasseiz Le Crapheaps a couple weekends ago, written by none other than the benevolent Judge Phil.  A few details are wrong, but it's stuff that Phil didn't know so no fault of his.  We got a longer write up than either of the winners!

Welcome!

Well...
It occurred to me that since we've now won an award, we might actually have fans or people who are wondering what we're up to or supremely bored masochists.... or something like that.  Welcome to Substandard Racing's blog!  I can't promise that we'll always be doing something interesting, or doing something at all, but I can promise we'll let you in on some of the inner workings of the team, the car, and the future plans of our rag tag team.  I feel no need to overshare at this point, so I'll leave you to your thoughts and I'll continue posting tidbits about us over the next couple weeks.
